I have really appreciated these lemon trees. Every 2 or 3 days I go through a pitcher of homemade lemon tea. And I squeeze lemon juice onto or into quite a few different foods.<br /><br />In two of the houses I had a giant old Eureka lemon tree in the backyard. In the other two houses I had a tiny little Meyer lemon tree. Despite the fact that I constantly hear people rave about Meyer lemons, I actually preferred the Eureka lemons -- at least for my usual recipes. However, it was probably just a matter of finding some new recipes where the Meyers would be appropriate.<br /><br />Anyway, two months ago I moved out of my last house and put all my belongings into storage. So for the first time in 15 years I can&#39;t go out back to pick fresh lemons!Philip Bouchardhttp://philipbouchard.comnoreply@blogger.com
